Max was holding his knee as Cox took that mark. He then hobbled to the bench and that little [censored] Ginnivan had a go at him on his way past. Max gave him an absolute spray

Slow movement from defense is killing our ability to score, need to be more daring I reckon and accept that we will turn some over but at least we have clearer path to goal

No thanks.   They kill us on turnovers through the middle, should be in front if they kicked straight

I hope Viney puts that little gutter rat on his [censored].

    covering transition from d50 was shaky that quarter, really need to plug the corridor. 

    Harmes streaming into the 50 runs to 40m and doesn’t make the distance or doesn’t have a shot. I’m unsure which it was but I was sick to death of this from last week as well

    Says Max is off injured online?

    what happened there?

    Cox up to his knee and boot dirty tactics.Did it to someone last week or the week before.Deliberately puts full impact into his opponents back with both knees or feet. You will need it to be shown from a different angle.

    Midfield getting pantsed again today. Losing clearances and contested ball, giving them free reign to take it quickly through the corridor. Oliver a lone hand. 

    Spargo had a great second quarter. Huge pressure and clean kicks going inside 50. 

    Jackson is a shadow of himself at present and is getting outbodied too easily. How any league footballer can miss goals from 10 meters out with little angle is beyond me.

    We’re not converting opportunity when we had the momentum. Will be a tough fight from here to get up.

    A week of kicking practice for Jackson.

    Meed more from M Brown too.

    Hibberd has been good

    This bloke is such a big game white line player.  Anyone who says Hibb is done & dusted well think again.  Our best down back so far by the length of the Flemington straight

    Just a matter of time before their midfield dominance, attack from the breakdown and run through the midfield overwhelms us, straight kicking or not. Unless we [censored] this and really make them pay from the contest and turnover, they’ll start piling on goals. No idea where our team’s gone, but they’re a dwindling shadow of last year, and it’s utterly horrible to watch. 

    lost that quarter, so often we lose the 2nd quarter, hopefully we will have one of our fantastic 3rd quarters and put them to the sword.

    Dominate first 20 minutes of quarter don't convert, momentum swings rinse repeat.

    Been the case three weeks in a row. Exactly same vibe as last three weeks. We don't win from here unless we pull a rabbit out of the hat. Pies are very well coached. No way they have better cattle than us but if teams defend us in the air it's all over.

    Owned the first 20 minutes plus let them back in late. Half-time reset it won't be easy, we can prevail. Do it Demons. Battle is Midway.

    MFCSS? get some resolve we have untapped reserves

    Turner going well on debut, especially early.

    Bowey is well out of form unfortunately. Hunt or Rivers would be more effective on form.


    No fluency or rhythm. Lead in legs. Hopefully pies poor goal kicking continues because they have more energy and zip.

    little angle

    Is that a joke? 

    We don't look like we want it like we did last year. Lacking the will to work and compete at the level required. Shocking withdrawal from the contest at the end then against Mihochek. This feels like a loss coming and we are heading for scrapping for a top 4 finish after this.

    Similar feel to last 2 games.
    Far to stagnant going forward.
    And kick straight when we've got control.

    Atmosphere is unreal. The stupid comments are cracking me up. Chanting USA after Cox misses is the best thing ever

    How many points do we need to up by at three-quarter time to be a chance of winning?

    No pressure what so ever then. Just allowed them to waltz it down to there forward line

    Why after any team who gets the ball in their defensive 50 are we allowing them to waltz down the ground and let them kick it into their forwards 50 with no pressure. Been happening for too long.

    Time to put this Ginnivin kid on his [censored]. Little [censored] mouthing off to Gawn. Who the hell do you think you are? Have you won a flag or been an AA 5 times? No. So shut the [censored] up!

    I think it is best not to pay attention to him and just land some nice hard tackles on him at every chance.

    And can our forwards lead once on a while. Not enough movement

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
